Works Cited Page: Step 2
To format your works cited page:
● Begin your works cited page on a separate page from the text of the paper. Do include the page number.
● Title the page Works Cited (do not underline the words Works Cited nor put quotation marks). Center the words Works Cited at the top of the page.
● Double space all entries and do add extra lines between entries.
● Use the left margin for the first line of each citation entry - -that is, each work you cite in your paper. Each extra line of the same citation should be indented one-half inch (or 5 spaces). This is known as a hanging indent. The reader can easily see where each
citation entry begins by looking for where it "sticks out" to the left margin.
● Alphabetize the list by the first word of each citation entry.
